    "The clearly more relaxed - in the sense of uncomplicated drinkable - STCE from the Velier series. For me, both are almost on par, only the slightly greater aromatic force brings the 2010 razor-thin in front. However, both offer high quality, without any doubt."

    "Another retaste and I still love it 😊 Retasting this one today and I stick to my score 😊 Very intense from pouring to finish. I rested it for 15 minutes and by then it had settled a bit and the ABV was perfectly integrated at that time. Fruity and spicy with wood on the palate and the esters were also detectable. I picked up light menthol on the palate and I liked it. The finish is like forever and really, really nice. Price to quality is extremely good in my mind."

    "Very good, but less balanced and fragrant than Long Pond TECA, VR and TECC. The ABV is a bit predominant compared to its other counterparts mentioned earlier. What did not particularly impress me was the aromatic bouquet that I perceived it a bit too light and not well blended. It's lucky that I tried a sample because I don't know if at the figure of 150 euros I would have bought it, at the same amount I would have opted for a TECA. However beyond the price it remains a nice rum highly above average, but one that disappoints expectations a little for the name it carries. For those who have never tasted a Long Pond it remains an interesting experience absolutely worth trying.There is no lack of typical roasted and pastry notes on the nose and palate with a medium tropical fruit (perhaps pineapple) finish."

    "Very nice bottling. A bit behind the 2005 (13y bottling). This is a bottling which changes dramatically with oxidation. While the freshly opened bottle is very fibrant, this will (relatively fast) deteriorate. Still: a little upgrade based on the „newly opened experience“. Compared to the older 2005 (18y) bottling, this is much more ester forward and straight into your face. More (artificial) fruit notes and more adstringent. Very different tasting experience. Both truely nice, however."
